| Title | Paper, 'A comparison of the latency periods of the ocular muscles on excitation of the frontal and occipito-temporal regions of the brain' by Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer |
| Date | 1888 |
| Description | Sharpey-Schafer writes: 'Conjugate deviation of the eyes to the opposite side is produced by excitation of entirely different regions of the cerebral cortex. The parts which when electrically excited produce this movement are: (1) An area in the frontal region of the hemisphere which is included in the motor or psychomotor zone of authors; (2) the superior temporal gyrus; (3) the upper end of the middle temporal gyrus; (4) the posterior limb of the angular gyrus; (5) the whole cortex of the occipital lobe including its mesial and under surfaces; (6) the quadrate lobule.'
